Astier De Villatte Villa Medicis Round Platter One Size

The villa medicis round platter from Astier De Villatte is a testament to the parisian-based brand's spiritual ethos and fascination with folk art and abandoned objects. Votary of pre-industrial fabrication, Astier De Villatte is celebrated for being the one and only studio in paris to hold and harbour the traditions of artisanal ceramic production. Restoring the ancestral systems of moulding and stamping, the villa medicis round platter is made using techniques from the middle ages which involve moulding a sheet of handmade clay, double firing the ?biscuit' piece and glazing the product in white enamel a lengthy process that requires a drying time of up to one month. Characterised by exposed clay, a deep base and a wide rim, the platter is engraved with the brand's signature crest depicting an interlacing a & v alongside the initials of one of the 40 master artisans who created it. Each handmade piece tells a beautiful story, romancing and imparting a sense of nostalgia into its owner.
